I love the sculpt, and the print looks perfect. What is the scale ?

Excellent vignette - the woman would paint up well as Patricia Velasquez from 'The Mummy Returns'

Received these superb figures this week.
I can say that are absolutely perfect in cast and form.
They are small, as pics below and not 54 mm as we know, but detail is perfect , I would say closer to 48mm and short of 1/35. They are definitely not 54mm.
That said, detail is so fine, it will be very easily removed under a primer and this I see the downfall of scaling down.
Everything including depth is scaled down and we know that compensation has to be made for this during sculpt and moulding .
They are mint in scale and sculpt and perfect figures.
They reminded me of by Cludo pieces, and there I realised this method has been used in mass production before.
As said, perfect miniatures and I would buy more from Max IG without a doubt , but detail is so fine, very very fine that downsizing from a larger sculpt seems to have it own battle in the perfection is too perfect, however in time I am sure this will be compensated for .
If this is the path for certain production figures, then now holding in my hands I can see a very bright future, but no less or better than produced manually.
Hornet heads ? Perfection and each piece there and after is sculpted according to the scale for production

Sorry for the dirty blade, only for scale
I think these are perfect examples of brilliant 3d sculpting and manufacture .
My comments are only as to how downsizing of a sculpt affects everything . The ankles on the mummy are 5 palm lines ( being generous). If received as a master and
after a metal spin it would not hold .
I understand scales can be changed but can bulk also be to taken into account of casting reduction if metal and normal if resin .
If to be cast in metal, after initial print, then that would need to be accounted for, perfection on screen doesn't result in the same after moulding and cast .
The mummy is great , but very thin. It suits this piece but now holding a piece I can see the pros and areas of concern better .
Thank you Max, very happy with this piece and will be back
Best wishes
Ps please see how good casting works, why would a home 3d printer be needed when you can get quality like this using traditional moulding just a new method of creating a master either this way or by tradition sculpting.

Fantastic !!! I tried printing once with Shapeways, and this can't be compared to their lousy work- completely different dimension
When this kind of prints will be affordable, I'll be printing some figures for sure, meanwhile slowly learning Blender...
